Troubleshooting 60
Server response time is slower than usual
Action: Be sure the hard drive is not full, and increase the amount of free space on the hard drive, if needed.
It is recommended that hard drives should have a minimum of 15 percent free space.
Memory problems
General memory problems are occurring
Action:
• Isolate and minimize the memory configuration. Use care when handling DIMMs ("DIMM handling
guidelines" on page 42).
o Be sure the memory meets the server requirements and is installed as required by the server. Some
servers may require that memory banks are populated fully or that all memory within a memory
bank must be the same size, type, and speed. To determine if the memory is installed properly, see
the server documentation.
o Check any server LEDs that correspond to memory slots.
o If you are unsure which DIMM has failed, test each bank of DIMMs by removing all other DIMMs.
Then, isolate the failed DIMM by switching each DIMM in a bank with a known working DIMM.
o Remove any third-party memory.
• To test the memory, run ProLiant MicroServer Insight Diagnostics (on page 32).
Server is out of memory
Action:
1. Be sure the memory is configured properly. Refer to the application documentation to determine the
memory configuration requirements.
2. Be sure no operating system errors are indicated.
3. Be sure a memory count error ("Memory count error exists" on page 60) did not occur. Refer to the
message displaying memory count during POST.
Memory count error exists
Action:
1. Be sure the memory modules are supported by the server. See the server documentation.
2. Be sure the memory modules are installed correctly in a supported configuration. See the server
documentation.
3. Be sure the memory modules are seated properly ("DIMM handling guidelines" on page 42).
4. Be sure there are no operating system errors indicated.
5. Restart the server and check to see if the error message is still displayed.
6. Run ProLiant MicroServer Insight Diagnostics (on page 32). Then, replace failed components as
indicated.
Server fails to recognize existing memory
Action:
1. Reseat the memory. Use care when handling DIMMs ("DIMM handling guidelines" on page 42).
